IN WHICH I DEAL WITH MINOR LOSS
Well, Orangeglow didn't make nearly the impact I hoped it would. I lost a couple of followers over it -- one of whom I assume is my downvote fairy, leaving their nasty red mark without a word before fecking off (of course I've done that too, so who am I to judge?). This is the second story of mine in a row to get basically no reception, which is disappointing to say the least. Is my writing really that boring?

There's a reason why I only touch on certain current events and it's because I don't want to fall into the trap of just examining and regurgitating news every week. The way media works is that there will always be news. There will always be new stories, new opinion pieces, new articles and more fear-mongering, more worrying, more speculation, it's because journalism gets money with attention. That's all it is.

I’m trying to drum up some motivation to write right now. So far it’s not happening -_-

The new chapter is ALMOST done but I just can't find a way to finish it. This may take a while guys.

Today is Fanfic FIMFic Writer Appreciation Day. You are hereby commanded to review & do one or more of the following....

Appropriated from a Live Journal post many a moon ago (2015):
(link is here: https://musesheaven.livejournal.com/27716.html)

It is not surprising news that fanfiction writers are highly underappreciated.

I can't seem to write my own material anymore

Not that I haven't tried, but for the past month, I've only been able to work together with DJ or otherwise help out others with their work instead of my own for some reason.

And then there's the videogame addiction rearing it's ugly head again

DJ "Convinced" me to get Terraria, and then later Dragon Ball Xenoverse, which we have been playing together nonstop.

Fun!

All fiction is, at its core, a morality play. By which I mean, every story is meant to convince the reader of the goodness of some method of thinking and the badness of some other one. Children's TV is much more overt about it, of course, but in the end, everything does this to some greater or lesser extent. This is that central inequity I'm always talking about. You write the story with two different, conflicting approaches in mind, then you prove through your story which one will make your

Seriously, what the heck does that even mean? "Show, don't tell," I mean. You're writing as best as you can, but then some jerk editor like me writes, "Show, don't tell here" on your work like it's a gift from the gods, drops the mic, and walks away. And you're left staring at your story wondering what you did wrong. Truth be told, it, like all writing advice, is very complicated and not always correct. But I'll try my best to help you look behind the curtain and understand what exactly "show,

As fans of this particular series, we are, in a sense, extremely lucky. Something like 90% of the characters are female in persuasion*; not only that, but we get a wide variety of archetypes and expressions of that femininity. Many shows aren't so lucky. If you're lucky, you get one, maybe two, and they're usually generic girl characters, a token effort to make the story more inclusive. The truth is, the writing world is still trying to figure out who these strange creatures we call "women"

Well, well, well. It's certainly been a while, hasn't it? I'm sorry it's been so long. I've been meaning to get back on the saddle, but you know how it is. Always some easy distraction close at hand. Well, this year, no more! (Ignore the last time I said that then didn't update for six months.) I'm going to pump out regular Workshops and make the most of it! Today, I thought I'd cover a topic that recently came to my attention: comic relief. What is it, and how do we use it in stories? That's

I know its been a while since we've posted a new chapter, but we've ran into some difficulties. We do have some ideas on the next chapter, but getting it down is the problem. All writers run into this problem, so I know it will pass and we can put the chapter. If any of you can give us some advice on how to get over it faster, it will be greately appreciated.

I fucking hate it. Haven't written anything since November. -.- I'm hoping to think of something new. >.> Could someone like...throw random topics off the top of their head? Maybe I could work with something.

Thanks,
